EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the devastating moment when King Sennacherib of Assyria unleashed his wrath upon Babylon in 689 BC. By diverting the mighty Euphrates River, he caused its waters to flow over the city, leaving only the most massive buildings standing in its wake.
The scene is one of destruction and chaos as the once thriving city is flooded and engulfed by the powerful river. The custom of civilizations clashed as Sennacherib's forces brought about this catastrophic event, wiping out homes, streets, and lives in a single stroke.
As we gaze upon this historical illustration from Hutchinson's History of Nations, published in 1915, we are transported back to a time when ancient rulers wielded immense power over their subjects. The sheer scale of this act of aggression is staggering, reminding us of the ruthless nature of conquests in centuries past.
Through this image, we are given a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Middle Eastern history that forever altered the landscape and destiny of Babylon. It serves as a stark reminder of the destructive capabilities that lie within mankind and how even the mightiest empires can crumble beneath nature's unforgiving force.
